Fashionable Fascinators


With the Royal Wedding happening tomorrow(!!!), I decided to do a little research on fascinators (inspired by the future Princess).  And while they're not that popular in the United States, Miss Middleton is starting a global trend and I'm sure we'll be seeing more of these fancy headpieces in the stores soon.  I personally think that they're fabulous, and would love to wear one to a summer wedding or other such fancy occassion.  Something small and simple would suit me (not sure I could pull off some the more outlandish versions).



these fascinators from ASOS were pretty cute (and affordable)
Bonus? They offer FREE delivery, worldwide.


a few chic options from Washington DC shop, Proper Topper.


Based in London, this lovely shop Hats By Cressida will ship their products to the US.



And, there were quite a few handmade options on Etsy...

What do you think?  Could you sport a fancy fascinator like the future Princess?

  1. Love them, but feel too self conscious to wear them and pull them off. I feel like that about lots of things.
